Font Problems...
well, ive just installed rainmeter and it looks great, although i cant really get much to work. as soon as i equip a config which involves text the "unable to create error message:TrebuchetMS, Tahoma or Arial" appears. i dont have a lot of experience with this and i would appreciate any help i could get.

Re: Font Problems...
do you have those fonts installed on your machine?
Zero at programing, zero at writing codes, so far 2 at making images
But I'm good at copy/paste, and I not always like this

Re: Font Problems...

Re: Font Problems...
What version of Rainmeter? What skin(s) are you loading?
If you are loading the default Enigma skins, this sounds like an issue where the UserVariables.inc file is unable to be loaded for some reason, and FontSizes are being set to an invalid size, namely zero.

Re: Font Problems...
Aside from one error regarding a missing CoreTemp plugin (I'm on Win7 so that won't work for me) it all works just fine.
I think it would be helpful if you went through this: http://rainmeter.net/cms/Rainmeter101 with careful attention paid to the "Installing Skins" section.
I just have Rainmeter 1.2 installed using the installer package to the default locations. I downloaded that suite from your provided link, unzipped it and put the entire folder in C:\Users\Jeffrey Morley\My Documents\Rainmeter\Skins. Then loaded RainBroswer, did a "Refresh All" of Rainmeter and started loading the new skins. All worked fine.

Re: Font Problems...

Re: Font Problems...
The default font of skin is tahoma, does it works with that?
you could also try restarting rainmeter, on my machine it works fine

Re: Font Problems...
You have either a serious problem with Windows (unlikely) or a serious problem with how Rainmeter is installed.
You might try this just to be sure:
